This week, the 2014 City will begin rolling off the assembly lines, marking the arrival of another generation of the nameplate; the fourth one since the mid 2000s, though technically this is already the 6th generation model. The launch date has been set on April 22.

Beyond the City, Honda is also scheduled for many other Philippine debuts in 2014 including the next generation Jazz (known as the Fit elsewhere). Other models that HCPI execs have alluded to most likely include the Brio (a subcompact hatchback), the Brio Amaze (a subcompact sedan) and the facelifted Civic, among others.
